I have to create some VM. I using KVM for it, manage by libvirtd. The
problem of my is that the IO is very bad. I'm nut sure, but I using
currently vmdk. Could this be the problem?
My settings for the VM is:
vitrio driver
vmdk
no cache
It's so bad that the Oracle DB can't work efficient.

I think that is a very likely suspect. The only drivers in QEMU
that have had any serious performance tuning are QCow2 and raw.
The vmdk driver is not really actively maintained beyond bug
fixing. I'd strongly recommend you try just 'raw' file formats
instead for maximum performance, and make sure you use 'cache=none'
for the disks too.

Let me repeat my question from the other thread here:
I wasn't able to set "cache=none", the libvirt(?) complained.
0.9.8, btw.
What might be the reason?
